In a society increasingly shaped by self-checkouts, GPS navigation and touchscreen ordering kiosks, new research shows face-to-face conversation may be quietly fading. A new study published in Perspectives on Psychological ...
Tech Xplore / Waste water to clean energy: Japanese engineers harness the power of osmosis
A Japanese water plant is harnessing the natural process of osmosis to generate renewable energy that could one day become a common power source.
Medical Xpress / Poor diet linked to heart disease, but Australia has seen improvements in the last 30 years
A poor diet remains a leading contributor to ischemic heart disease, according to an analysis from 204 countries over a 30-year period, published in Nature Medicine. The authors estimate that suboptimal diet associated with ...
Phys.org / Pairs of atoms observed existing in two places at once for the first time
Quantum physicists at ANU have observed atoms entangled in motion. "It's really weird for us to think that this is how the universe works," says Dr. Sean Hodgman from the ANU Research School of Physics. "You can read about ...
Medical Xpress / Toxic RNA exposure, not repeat growth, may drive worsening DM1 heart disease
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is the most common cause of adult-onset muscular dystrophy, a genetic disorder that leads to muscle weakness and wasting, but also affects the brain, the gastrointestinal tract and the heart. ...
Phys.org / 3D root model captures mangroves' capacity to protect coastal communities from storm waves
Mangrove forests are natural wonders that protect coastal areas, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. They are able to dissipate wave energy and limit flooding, which can even mitigate tsunamis and coastal inundations ...
Phys.org / Can unpaved roads and watersheds co-exist? Researchers wade into the question
Imagine a dump truck dropping 13 tons of dirt into the waters of Brush Creek, a waterway that feeds northwest Arkansas' primary drinking water source, Beaver Lake. That's how much soil and sediment researchers measured going ...
Phys.org / Engineering the bite of ancient marine predators
An international team of researchers, led by paleontologists of the University of Liège, has investigated the biting capabilities of extinct predatory marine reptiles, revealing how these formidable predators could coexist ...
Phys.org / Artemis II astronauts rocket toward the moon after spending a day around Earth
NASA's Artemis II astronauts fired their engines and blazed toward the moon Thursday night, breaking free of the chains that have trapped humanity in shallow laps around Earth in the decades since Apollo.
Medical Xpress / Ticks are the backyard threat southwestern Pennsylvania homeowners keep ignoring

Just before the holidays in 2025, Julie Hart felt stuck. A nagging problem she had struggled with for years left her ruminating all day and questioning nearly everything she had ever said, done or could do.
Phys.org / Insects in the tropics are already near their heat limits. Climate change could push many beyond survival
Insects make up to 90% of all animal species on the planet, and most of them can be found in the tropics, the regions around the equator. Yet we still know surprisingly little about how these species will cope with rising ...
